Selangor Umno chief Noh Omar, for that matter Umno Selangor, seem to
have a twisted sense of reasoning and the call to probe the
whistleblower in this ‘canteen in shower room' fiasco under the Sedition
Act is even more bizarre.

For the record, the parent concerned
had to seek recourse through the social media because her complaint to
the school authorities failed to address her concern for her daughter's
health in having to take her meals in the shower room.

And
according to her, there was no element of race or religion in her
complaint. The fact the Education Ministry intervened to facilitate the
use of the regular canteen for the affected students the very next day
validates the severity of the parent's complaint.

If not for her
prompt action, the repugnant decision of the headmaster would have
continued unabated to the detriment of the helpless students' health.
Can Noh tell us when did a complaint against a civil servant become a
seditious offence?

Multi Racial: The
whistleblower is the hero and with this statement, Selangor Umno has
effectively buried their chances of capturing Selangor ever again.

It
goes to show how stupid they are. The headmaster was wrong to place the
students to eat in the washroom. You can look from any angle, it is
still wrong. Nobody in the right frame of mind would do that.

Selangor
Umno not only did not come out to defend the parent who highlighted
this matter, they even call for the parent to be charged for sedition
and insisted that the authorities not to act against the headmaster.

It
is like freeing the bad guys and killing the hero. This is most
ridiculous. It goes to so how low Umno politicians are willing to go.

Jessy43: Noh Omar, can you please explain why 29 students could not eat in the canteen built for 500 when no others were using it?

Can
you explain why the canteen had to be closed for three months to change
the teachers' canteen glass doors? Can you explain why immediately
after Deputy Education Minister II P Kamalanathan's visit, the children
were able to use the canteen?

Noh, can you answer these questions
logically and clearly before you say things to make the situation
worse? And finally if Muslim students in another country were asked to
eat in the shower room although the dining area was available, would you
be happy?

CiViC: Honestly for a moment I was lost, thinking I was in a movie. Only in movies can such ridiculous things happen.

The
ones who highlight the truth are being threatened, being asked to
apologise, and those who did wrong are protected and hailed as heroes.

If there are any seditious elements in here, it is in Noh asking for action against the parents.

TakBolehTahan: The big guy bullies a mother who was concerned about the well-being of her child? What a hero.

ZhuGeLiang:
It doesn't matter whether it is Muslims or non-Muslims who were forced
to use the shower room as a canteen. The shower room is unhygienic,
smelly and infested with bacteria. Nobody can dispute that.

That's
why we are advised to wash our hands after going to the toilet. Does
the headmaster not know that? Is he not a family man with children? How
would he feel if his children were treated this way?

This kind of
action should not be condoned. It is clearly wrong, irrespective of
race. At the least, the headmaster should be reprimanded.

But if the authorities continue to condone this kind of wrongdoing, the rakyat will begin to lose faith in our laws.

But
to punish the whistleblower for sedition - that's ludicrous. I just can
believe any law-abiding citizen would dare contemplate such a
recommendation unless he thinks he is the law himself.

Sincere Citizen:
Noh, please don't threaten the canteen whistleblower for sedition. The
whistleblower has got the right to complain and make sure that the
children are in a safe and hygienic place to have their food.

For
health reasons, why not you try to get the approval from the Health
Department to certify whether the enclosed room is fit for a canteen?

Slumdog: Noh Omar, you are contemptible. When Umno gets involved, it always results in a racial issue.

The
frequent urging by Umno members and supporters to charge all and sundry
with the Sedition Act for simply speaking the truth is getting out of
hand.

The Act is being abused to the point where just about
anything that is said, tweeted, blogged, emailed and posted on Facebook,
is deemed seditious by Umno's supporters, just because they don't like
the message.

Vii: The victim/whistleblower will
be charged with sedition whereas the accused is to be protected? No
wonder, Malaysia is a safe haven for racists and criminals.

Odin: You
are only partly right, Noh Omar. The parent concerned and all who have
objected to the pupils having been made to eat next to filthy toilets
ought not to be investigated but immediately arrested under the Sedition
Act and sent to jail for life.

There is no need for a trial
even. As for you, go sell your prawns, and with the proceeds erect a
solid gold statue in honour of the headmaster for his extraordinarily
meritorious service in the field of education, and in promoting racial
and religious harmony.

Paul Warren: So I suppose
making police reports of a crime committed against you could also be
construed to be seditious as it would impact unfavourably on the crime
statistics and this in turn will embarrass the Home Ministry and
unfavourably project the country as a crime-laden land.

ACR: The truth is not out yet. The headmaster and his supporters' stories have been changing it every other day.

If
this continues, I recommend the parents make a police report against
Noh and those who have threatened them under section 503 of the Penal
Code for criminal intimidation.

Anonymous #40538199:
I think those who support the decision of letting pupils to eat in the
shower room, should practice it with their family by dining in their
shower rooms and bathing in their dining room.
